My repair crevice comprises a booly portion 5, which is formed. of o plurality of iominsitions of canvas and rubber, in the manner well 50 known in the art, and it is not. thought necessary to further go in detail relative to the some. The body portion 5 is oi a suitable length, oncl the longitudinal eclges thereof are reduced, and ore further edepted to overlap each other, in the manner as clearly shown in Figure l of the drawing. The noel, portion 5 is further adapted to be lnterposecl between the inner tube and the outer casing, so that the some will extenci entirely around the inner tube, etthe portion where the outer casing has oeen out or weakened.

For the purpose of securing my repair device in position in the casing, around the inner tube, so as to prevent the accidental slipping of the repair device on the inner tube, 1 provide the attaching" nooks, such as are shown, at 6 and '3' respectively, in drawing. These books have their inner ends provided with ears, shown st 8, and I through which is eopted to extend, fasten-r 111g moons, shown. at 9.

hooks 6 are secured to the outer fees of time oody portion adjacent one of the so longitudinal edges thereof, iletlie hooks 7 are secured to the outer fece' of e body portion adjacent the opposite lon itiidinel edge thereof. The hooks are furthermore so arranged as to alternate with each other, 1n the manner as clearly shown in Figure 2 of the iirmving, and this construction enables; the Books 6 to have their ends engaging the heed 4e the casing 23, while the free ends of the books 7 are in cngage- 10g with the bead 3 of the casing, in. the msmiier as clearly shown in l igui'e In :this 'inenner, the repair device will be securoiv held position within e 4 rable, as well as prolong the life of the outer casing, Without causing any injury to the inner tube.

While I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that various changes in the size,

shape, and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, Without departing from the spirit of the invention, and the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, What is claimed is:

1. A repair device for pneumatic tires comprising a body portion adapted to be interposed between the inner tube and the outer casing of said tire, the free longitudinal edges of the body portion overlapping each other, and alternately arranged hooks secured to the body portion adjacent the longitudinal edges thereof, and adapted to engage the opposite beads of said casing.

2. A repair device for pneumatic ti'res comprising a body portion adapted to be disposed within the tire casing and around the inner tube of said tire, the longitudinal edges of the body portion tapering and overlapping with each other, and alternate 1y arranged hooks secured at their inner ends to the body portions adjacent the longitudinal edges thereof, the free ends of said hooks adapted to engage the opposite beads of said casing.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
